Donations for Poor Arborist

[Treelimbjim]

Grover,

Is it money or spare time? I understand the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. After 10 years you might well know that wisdom is not a commodity.

But...
I get tuition discounts here but they just won't give me another sheepskin for sleeping through classes and I take the class credits and sprinkle them over my oatmeal-- it tastes just like gruel.

Historically, gruel has often been an important part of the human diet, especially that of poor people like me.
Its kinda like porrage oats, but without much goodness. I think its the sweepings off the ships floor where the oats fell onto the floor in pirate days.

You know what...I think I'd rather send money to Grover than to all these religious organizations that are always asking for donations...I'm starting to think god is poor at handling his finances because he his allways sending people out for donations....

Thanks kman, - the real reason I wanted the money was to build a pedal car for the town parade. My friends and I thought it was appropriate to highlight the current fuel crisis and make people realise that the 'west' has been wasting unsustainable oil supplies for far too long.

Anyway, my friends managed to recieve some money through the various forums they frequent and we built this pedal car. I didn't recieve any money from my fellow arborists here at Treebuzz, but thats ok, cause things are hard at the moment for everyone.

Well, why didn't you say so at first?

I think you might have had some investors.
